VEry nice to see this...looks in good condition. If the price were around $5-6K range they might get a bite. $8k is wacko land.

Far out I dig it...has the bling case that you could get for them also. But, as I say, one could procure an example from the USA, near mint, for around $5.2K NZD with GST 'n all. A sub mint one for $4.5KNZD.

Don't think I've seen a single pickup version before.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I'm trying to negotiate with someone who sells miniature guitars and drum kits. This will not end well.
